Chapter 684: Surviving Residents
The Crimson Swift Shadow was a custom-built model specifically for her, and apart from the two 12.7mm heavy machine guns mounted on the shoulder armor, this heavy assault armor no longer had any ranged weapons.
Although it lacks long-range firepower, the freed up weight and space allows it to use thicker armor, faster speed, and more agile movements-
The attack of the heavy machine gun was not fatal to the hunting-level parasites, as long as they were not directly hit in the head, it was completely harmless to open a few bullet holes on the body, except for a few who were swept to the ground by strafing, the remaining dozens of hunting-level parasites instantly rushed to the front of the crimson Xunying.
She only had more than ten seconds, and if she didn't get rid of all of these hunter-class parasites in a dozen seconds, they would tear open the wagons of the train and burrow into the trolleys filled with soldiers...... The whole train will be turned into purgatory.
"Hum—"
With a buzzing sound, the tip of Crimson Swiftshadow's ten fingers spat out a blade of light more than two meters long, and the ten blades of light just formed an indestructible pair of claws, which could easily tear apart everything that stood in front of Crimson Swiftshadow, whether it was a hunter-level parasite with thick skin and flesh, or the forged steel gate of Vault 444 that was two and a half meters thick.
The few hunter-level parasites that rushed to the front were cut into pieces by the light blade claws one by one, but the consciousness that controlled these hunting-level parasites behind the scenes didn't seem to care about this loss at all, and the hunter-level parasites behind them still pounced one after another.
"Too much ......"
Despite the fact that the battle was almost one-sided, Crimson Swift Shadow was retreating step by step, and behind her, the high-speed train was rapidly approaching.
In order to transport as many soldiers as possible, all the self-defense weapons originally contained on the train, except for the necessary armor plates, were removed, and in this case, the train was indistinguishable from a narrow tin can.
She and her crimson shadow were the only weapons of self-defense left on the train.
Of course, the combat power of a Crimson Swift Shadow is much stronger than that of an armed train...... However, the number of enemies is simply too many.
Crimson Swiftshadow's right arm swung down again, tearing apart a Hunter-level that flew from the left, but at the same time, two more Hunter-Tier jumped down from the top of the tunnel and landed on Crimson Swiftshadow's body, their sharp claws constantly cutting a lot of marks on the armor plate, making a tooth-aching sound.
"It's too late...... Execute Emergency Plan No. 2! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the originally closed windows on both sides of the train were opened, and after a uniform loading sound, hundreds of black holes of guns came out of the windows.
Anyway, a one-and-a-half-millimeter-thick steel plate can't stop the hunting-grade claws, so instead of hiding in the carriage and praying, it is better to take the initiative to fight back.
"The voice channel goes to the carriage radio - soldiers! Now, there's bad news for you! The enemy you're going to face this time is the Parasite - yes, you heard it right, it's in that virtual world that the undead monsters that have swept across Siberia. ”
There was an immediate commotion in a few carriages, but soon, not even a second, the commotion subsided.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
……
……
Inside Vault 444, at the junction of the Middle Zone and the Ghetto.
After disposing of the parasite's body, the team of four quickly left the garbage disposal plant.
After learning that the rebellion was inseparable from the mastermind, the team's plan was changed accordingly.
Since the enemy may be the mastermind, the step of invading the Vault Brain must be canceled, and there is no way for the four to confront the mastermind head-on, but it will also startle the snake and expose their whereabouts.
The main mission goal is still to find and rescue the trapped high-level of the Edas Consortium, but after the appearance of the parasite, the difficulty of achieving this goal has suddenly increased by several levels.
"I'm a little worried...... Could it be that the top management of the Edas consortium has been parasitized? In that case, not only would we be running in vain, but we would also be in danger, which would be a bit stupid. Four crouched on the ground, leaning against a half-human-tall metal trash can, and whispered.
"The probability is very low, the top management of the Edas consortium knows a lot of important information, if the manipulators behind the rebellion are really the mastermind, then the mastermind will not attack them until the value of these people is squeezed dry." Qi Lin said.
Rather than seeing the mastermind as a machine, it is better to see it as a "wise man" with a super high IQ and super computing power, for the mastermind, any choice must be the optimal solution, it is impossible to put a group of high-level consortium and ordinary low-level residents at opposite ends of the scale.
Ordinary low-level residents don't know anything, and even when they are parasitized, they may think that this is just a brutal biochemical experiment, and they will not associate it all with the mastermind.
But the top management of the Consortium is different, they know more things, and judging from Mrs. Heya's request for assistance from the Order, it is clear that the top leaders of the Edas Consortium know the existence and significance of the Organization.
And through these people, the mastermind can get more valuable information.
"That being said, we can't just go headlong into the rich neighborhood with both eyes in the dark, and my advice is to gather as much information as possible to find out what is going on with Vault 444, the parasites, and the hostages before taking further action." Falcon said.
"Hmm." Qi Lin nodded, "Then let's start with the slums, the slums are densely populated, and the tunnel environment is complicated, maybe there will be some survivors hiding." ”
"Seconded."
After the four of them agreed, they bent on their backs and quickly crossed the entrance to the junction and burrowed into the dark slum.
The cramped space, lack of light sources, and breathable air are common to almost all of the slums in the Vault, and the four of them have to wear breathing masks and rely on tactical flashlights to search each tunnel.
"All rooms are airtight, and I don't know if any of you ......," Falcon muttered, glancing at the electronic lock.
"It's easy to do, just leave it to me." Four took out a device similar to a mobile phone, pulled a wire from the side of the device, and inserted the electrode at the end of the wire into the gap in the electronic lock.
Five seconds, with the harsh grinding sound of the rusted parts, the airtight door slowly opened.
"Good luck." Although the light of the flashlight had not yet shone in, Qi Lin had already seen a short figure huddled in the corner of the room sleeping soundly, his hand tightly clutching a sharpened short stick and his body covered with two dirty pieces of cardboard.
